[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notchr302:
Hello everyone I have a question that I'd like opinions on if possible. I had a z5 compact and sold it because I wanted to try a nexus 5x. I loved the smoothness of stock Android but the size was just ridiculous for a 5.2" screen. So I gave the phone to my 14yo son who needed a phone after his Iphone 6 was acting up. I really miss the z5c and I'm using an old z3c right now. so I was all set to purchase the US model(even though no fingerprint reader) I didn't think it worked great anyway..but here's the thing, I know that htc, lg, and Samsung are coming within weeks. With my main criteria ease of use with one hand, the lg may be too big right of the bat. My hangup with Samsung is that the s6 I had, had terrible battery life and the lag because of TouchWiz. HTC has me intrigued but not sure about sense UI. So should I wait to see the actual phones when they arrive or is the z5c still a good contender? Part of me wants to just buy the z5c and wait for Marshmallow but part is still getting curious about the s7, even though my hunch is that the same old Samsung problems will be there,, or the m10 to see what it has going.. You know there is something to be said for having the latest hardware and software. What do you think?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangnhap01:
stay with z3c and wait for snapdragons 820 devices :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
I think you should wait for a future compact phone.

The Z3C has solid battery life and performance. 720p screen and small, like the Z5.

Since the Z3C uses x86 Android and the Z5 uses x64 Android, you'll probably have more free RAM because both devices have 2GB of RAM. (Same happened between Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X).

My case: the best scenario for me is a Nexus device with [Moto_X/Z3C/Z5C/iPhone] size/resolution. The last one was the Galaxy Nexus (because Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 were too width for my hand).

I didn't buy a Z3C (I'm coming from a Nexus 5) because the price was near the Z5 Compact..It was like...400€ vs 550€ at that time.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
If the 6.0 serving us well, then Z5c still a recommended choice but who knows.... we're still waiting......
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notchr302:
Yes. Ideally it would be an easier decision if 6.0 were indeed out.. But...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazonclash:
In my case, Marshmallow will decide if I keep that Z5 I bought in October and is currently gathering dust... or if I sell it and buy a different brand.

The current firmware (Lollipop) is awful. My reccomendation: If Sony can get its sh*t together and release a proper 6.0 firmware , the Z5c is probably a good choice (price should drop when the Z6c is out)... but if Sony's iteration of Marshmallow firmware is as bad as Lollipop is on the Z5, STAY AWAY from Sony.

Back in October, I had to choose between a Z5, a Moto X Pure and a Nexus 6P. I finally got the Z5, and I've regretted that choice every single day since. I don't blame the phone though (hardware), but I blame the firmware quality and Sony who doesn't seem to care at all (Certains bugs were known and reported back in October. They're still present. That says a lot)

Wait for Marshmallow... then make a choice ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
It must be better, I didn't see one Marshmallow which is worse than Lollipop but I have no idea how great of MM on our Z5c. Since the Z5c still worth some money, if MM turn out not reach my expectation probably I will sell it out.

Overall 6.0 is good at battery and improved memory management, pretty sure issues like lagging and battery draining been fixed. The only problem is the camera.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanto124:
There are very very few phones that can provide both one-hand-operating ability (or portability) and the real experience of a flagship if I don't consider Sony's compact phones. I may think that iphone 5s can do, but its battery life just sucked.

Well, you can take a look at z3c, that is able to flash to CyanogenMod and then get mostly the same experience with stock Android or even better, and as well as better battery life than z5c
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notchr302:
I'm actually using the z3c now. There are things about the build quality that I like better in the z5c though. I don't flash or rom because.. Well I just don't know how and I don't think I really want to. Apple is coming out with with a 4" updated 5s on the 15th of March so this is yet another option but it IS an iPhone lol. Btw, thanks for the replies guys. Very helpful

[Android Apps and Games] AymanDev:
Hey guys! I recently made a game using the libGDX library. It's a 2d runner style game. A rabbit in the thick of things has to get out of the hood and maybe get high along the way. The game is interesting to say the least. It functions well but I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made some choices. I would really love some feed back. Especially with regards to some glaring things I may have missed.

Thanks! Feel free to post it here or message me privately! Enjoy, cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] SaitamaG:
The game has an element of quirkiness to it. (I like the weed haha). That being said, it does kind of lack content. Mechanically the game works well and is definitely enjoyable. It does also seem unnecessarily difficult. My two cents! Thanks for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] AymanDev:
Thanks! The development process was kind of messy and the game was put together fairly quickly. I'll definitely see where the game is going and do my best to add content. Let me know if you have anymore feed back and thanks for trying it!

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan_araujo:
Hello guys,

I'm trying to downgrade my Moto X Play XT1563, I found a tutorial on the Internet using the fastboot for such a feat. From what I saw, many people use this tutorial to upgrade or simply go back to what it was before "flash".

But in the first command line, when I type in CMD, an error appears:

> fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

target reported max download size of 268435456 byte

sending 'partition' (32 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.006s]

writing 'partition'...

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.485s

The tutorial is for this purpose doubt

1) Extract the Fastboot / ADB and images (zip ROM), extract the two zip's to a folder of your choice

2) Restart your phone mode 'Bootloader' (Turn off the cell and then press the volume button (minus) and (power for 2 seconds) and then release the power.)

It would be interesting to have activated in the "Developer options" the option "Allow OEM Unlock"

3) Now the CMD, enter the commands:

NOTE: system.img_sparsechunk may contain name or number, so check if you have only modify the hour.

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

I wonder if someone could help me solve this case, please.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wardenn:
You're lucky that it failed. It's totally okay.

Don't flash the Partition Table - gpt.bin and skip the bootloader.

It's not recommended to do so and there are even threads in this sub forum to warn people.

See: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/general/reminder-how-to-downgrade-6-0-to-5-1-1-t3267253

It can lead to bricking your device.

So just skip fastboot flash partition gpt.bin and fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img, do everything else.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nudr01d:
Hi, I have just got this phone, it's nice too :)

But it is a locked phone to the 'EE' carrier, and I need to use my contract SIM which is with 'Three'.

This is a UK carrier.

Can someone please tell me if I can do this, and the easiest way?

I searched and found just one method, using something called Sigma Software.

Has anyone used that, and is that the best method?

I would also like to know the easiest way to root these phones too please, as the video I watched on unlocking with Sigma said it must be rooted first, so I guess that would be the case for any unlocking carrier methods?

Thanks and sorry for asking many questions at once.

I like the look of this handset and hope to use it with my main SIM card :good:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Helgaiden:
So I've just about had it with the leaky 5.0.2 lollipop firmware we got stuck with. Bootloader is hopelessly locked for no good reason meaning only Sony signed firmwares/kernels are flashable. A kind gentleman in one of the other subforums gave me instructions to install nuts recovery and that worked (I had rooted previously using kingroot).

He also packages up a flahable zip from a preroted c6903 5.1.1 official firmware (minus the modem files so my american tmo modem stayed in tact. I was trying to do a clean flash). Theoretically this should work right? Nope. Left my phone soft bricked over several attempts. I ended up getting the 4.4.4 ftf and flashing that back and honestly I'm happy with it.

But then I find out that my new vehicle in getting, which will support Android auto in a march update, requires lollipop or better. Son of biscuit eating bulldog!! I dont want to go back to the broken 5.0.2 firmware Sony and Tmo left us with. It was terrible.

Surely there has to be a way to trick the system into thinking we are flashing a stock 5.1.1 firmware to circumvent the locked bootloader right??? I was flashing customized ROMs back when my little brother had a Motorola Defy with a locked bootloader that all we needed to do was install recovery and "restore" a backup of said customized ROM and voila.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Helgaiden:
Oh, another thought popped into my head. As far as I was aware, Xposed didnt work on our devices (well, the Z1s c6916 specifically). Can anyone confirm whether xposed works on the Z1s or not on 5.0.2? There is a module for xposed that claims to fix the memory leak issue so that could be another work around.

I had BBC 4.0.0.67 working on my 8525, and a couple of days ago bought the HTC Tytn II (Kaiser). On initial startup, using the SIM from my 8525, the Tytn II set up my AT&T data connection. Phone calls and 3G internet surfing worked fine. The Tytn set my data connection to use isp.cingular and I added the wap.cingular connection. I use the wap.cingular connection.

I first tried Blackberry connect 4.0.0.90 which would not connect to the BB server even though I had a good 3G internet connection. I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T who finally said it was a Blackberry problem and they transferred me to Blackberry. I spent an hour on the phone with them, and they concluded it was AT&T. Blackberry support transferred me back to AT&T. The AT&T manager basically said: we don't support a non AT&T phone on Blackberry...and we don't support blackberry connect. I will point out everyone was very nice throughout this over 2 hour ordeal.

So I removed BBC .90, cleaned out all traces, and reloaded the 4(1).0.0.84 AT&T Tilt version from the HTC America site: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=327695

and surprise, everything works perfectly on 3G and Edge. Blackberry BES for my work exchange email (synching email, calendar, contacts, and notes) and BIS for my personal email accounts. The Blackberry web browser also works fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] matt sb:
At my firm I have the option to install BBC or Good. I have Good running but I'm wondering about BBC. Does it work like Good in that there is a separate application running that you need to open for mail/calendar/contacts, and it's not integrated into the native apps? Or is it like using a blackberry where everything is integrated. Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] caleymac:
It's fully integrated into the native apps. BBC creates WM6 mail accounts for my exchange email and personal email accounts, the contacts are in the WM6 standard contacts database, and the appointments are in the standard calendar. All of these (except personal email) are bi-directionally syncronized with my exchange server.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XBOHDPuKC:
do you have an AT&T blackberry data plan?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] caleymac:
Yes. blackberry unlimited
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] matt sb:
Just one more question - for the corporate email, can you add an attachment to an email that is stored on the mobile unit?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] matt sb:
I read this in an article which is what prompted me to ask. What the article is describing sounds like Good, where it's a separate application.... "The new BlackBerry application suite will complement existing Windows Mobile 6 functionality and will appear as an icon on the screen, in the same manner as other third-party applications. Clicking the icon will prompt a suite of BlackBerry applications, including push e-mail functionality, calendar, address book and others, to load. "
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
Can one run both the Outlook and the Blackberry connect in the same device (Kaiser) at the same time?

Also, I attempted to install BB connect and I was prompted to first disable my password. I could not find a way to do that without first eliminating the Outlook connection to the Exchange server. Is there another way?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] caleymac:
My guess is the author was not familiar with the WM6 environment. There is a BB icon in settings and on the bottom of the today screen, but it brings up the bbc configuraton utility. The apps are fully integrated in the native wm6 apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] caleymac:
If you use BBC to synch contacts, appointments, notes, and tasks, you cannot also synch them via activesynch/WMDC or exchange sync. It's one method or the other. I have not set up a POP account on my Tytn because I have all my personal POP email go through the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS).

I'm not sure if you can exchange sync email and use BBC for email too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] caleymac:
Yes, but it seems like you are limited to 32K or smaller.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
So, here's the deal. I also got this to work on my second day of having my TyTN II. I called AT&T and tricked them into thinking I had purchased an unlocked BB from a dealer and they switched me over to the BB Unlimited plan so I could use BES to connect to my corp email. I installed the PC software, and the handheld SW. And got everything working. It started downloading all my emails, inbox and sent. I chose not to sync my calendar until I confirmed it worked.

BUT...

Something very strange happened. Basically, it went thru my calendar, saw all my meetings that were on my calendar for the last week and in the future and started to RESEND ALL THE MEETING INVITES AS IF THEY WERE FROM ME.

So, if I had a meeting that I was invited to next week, along with 3 others. It sent out a meeting invitation through my email to the other 3 participants (excluding the original meeting organizer) and sent it as if I was the meeting organizer. So I ended up with duplicate meetings on my calendar, and it duplicated everyone else's calendar. So people had 2 meeting ivntes, one from me, and one from the original organizer.

Needless to say, this was a big problem. Fortunately, i cuaght it before it went thru my entire calendar, but ti still managed to send out about 40 meetings invites, some to large groups of people!

I immediately removed the BBC software and switched my plan back.

I don't know why it happened. I can't explain it. Has anyone else who gets the new Kaiser-compatible BBC installed had this issue? Or did it work as expected?

I would prefer to get BBC working, but I can't risk having that happen again!
